A new type of fiber could transmit the high-power light needed for future deep-space science and exploration missions.

Upgrades to the Reagan Test Site’s optical systems combine state-of-the-art focal plane technologies with a wide-area, network-centric, open-system design to allow distributed system command and control while achieving unprecedented metric accuracy.

We developed a ladar that samples at the diffraction limit to collect high-resolution imagery for geospatial mapping missions.

A system that enables robust, long-distance communications between underwater vehicles exploits laser technology.

Recent advances in imaging architectures and real-time processing are enabling the development of a miniature ladar sensor that can be deployed on a UAV.

A system that detects laser beams being shone into the sky and alerts police of their source can help protect pilots and aircraft.
